This is probably my best purchase ever. Excellent fleece. Warm and comfortable. The number of pockets and their placement are just right. The zippers are sturdy and work well. Big hood with a brim. I usually wear it as an outer layer, but sometimes I put it under a jacket. If anyone is considering buying it, I 100% recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

Helikon-Tex Patriot Fleece - Jungle Green
A zippered fleece jacket in Jungle Green that provides thermal insulation in low temperatures, while allowing excess heat and moisture generated during exertion to be expelled. The Helikon-Tex Patriot is made from high-quality fleece with a grammage of 380 g/m2. Thanks to the ample fit, a thinner sweatshirt and other insulating layers can be worn underneath the fleece. The back section is slightly extended to protect the kidneys from the wind, yet the entire jacket is short enough to allow easy access to pockets and equipment carried on a belt.
Breathable fleece
The fleece is made from 100% quick-drying polyester with a grammage of 380 g/m2. The material boasts a high degree of insulation and breathability, allowing excess moisture to be wicked away, preventing chills. The fabric is durable and resistant to damage, making the jacket suitable for outdoor activities in challenging terrain, both during hikes and while undertaking tactical tasks. The material on the elbows is additionally reinforced, which increases its wear resistance.
Adjustable hood
Protection against cold and wind is provided by a spacious, enclosed hood. Its size allows for wearing a winter hat without restricting movement. It features a soft visor to shield the wearer from water running directly down the face. The hood is attached to the collar in such a way that it covers the neck when worn. Its adjustment is done with elastic cords, allowing the hood to be tailored according to needs.
Spacious pockets
The jacket is equipped with six spacious and well-thought-out pockets:
- two chest pockets
- two sleeve pockets on the shoulder level
- one on the left sleeve on the forearm
- one pass-through pocket at the back above the hips
The pockets are secured with durable and reliable YKK zippers. The zippers are additionally finished with fabric tabs, making them easy to grip even with thick gloves. Additionally, inside the chest pockets, there is a divider for a phone and openings for threading cables, e.g., from headphones.
Velcro panels, adjustable cuffs, and elastic drawstring
On the shoulders, there are Velcro (hook and loop) panels that allow for attaching patches, insignia, unit emblems, or so-called Morale Patches. The sleeves are equipped with adjustable hook and loop cuff closures, allowing for their circumference adjustment. An elastic drawstring is placed at the waist to prevent the jacket from lifting up from the bottom and causing a chill.

I don't know if this fleece still needs any more recommendations, because I think everyone has already noticed its advantages. Very warm, super comfortable, and it looks great. Practical pockets and a superb hood with a visor are great features that every user will surely appreciate. I use it both at work and in the mountains; it’s also great for cycling on cold days. In my opinion, it’s world-class.

A warm and comfortable fleece with practical pocket placement. It works well as an outer layer on cooler days or as insulation under a jacket. The olive color is versatile and looks good.
-
I can wholeheartedly recommend this fleece. I used it all winter in severe frost; it can serve as a sweatshirt or, on colder days, as the main source of warmth. For this price, it's definitely worth it.
-
I bought this fleece jacket as a replacement for my old nine-year-old M65 jacket from Mil Tec, before it gets completely worn out, considering its age. I immediately liked the new jacket a lot and I plan to wear it when it gets cold again. The poncho from the same brand has already found its place in the new fleece jacket.

I bought three pieces. Two of them are for gifts. The fleeces do their job on cold days. Not only do they provide warmth, but with the number and arrangement of pockets, you definitely won't be disappointed. Perfect for work, duty, or a trip to the mountains.
-
Excellent purchase! During the autumn/winter/spring season, I wore it practically non-stop. Warm, comfortable, practical. Really worth its price.
-
Amazing fleece! The weight is quite substantial, but the fabrics used are really great quality. Even in winter, you don’t need to wear an additional jacket over this sweater. I definitely recommend it 1000%!
-
Warm and solid fleece. Perfect for long stays outdoors during winter. Lots of pockets. Overall, well-made fleece. Worth buying. 5/5
-
This fleece is probably already a legend – it looks great, is very well made, has plenty of pockets and drawstrings, so it will fit any body type. Very warm, it easily handles winter at several degrees below zero, one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I highly recommend it.
-
Really great fleece. Warm, thick. Well made. Fits you like you're J.Statham :) Even though it's not waterproof, it takes some time before you notice. Trekking in the north - perfect choice.
-
A well-designed and thoughtfully crafted fleece. Functional pockets, a well-fitted cut. It keeps you warm very well, and when combined with other clothing items, it works perfectly even in freezing temperatures.

Bought for my brother for private fun, trips to the shooting range, etc. The sizing is a plus; for a height of 2 meters, it's good in length, same for the sleeves. The color is brilliant, the material is very warm.
-
For me it's 10/10. I've been wearing it every day for several months and I can really recommend it. Nothing happens to it, the pockets are spacious and practical. The zippers work perfectly with no issues, nothing is coming apart.

This is the best fleece I have used so far. It is comfortable and adjustable at the wrists. It has many pockets and zippers under the armpits, which improve air circulation.
